With the score goalless, the hosts were screaming for a penalty after Elif Elmas went to ground following a clumsy challenge from the Manchester United defender.

The England star instantly wagged a finger at the referee to claim Elmas had made a meal of it and fortunately the official agreed with him.

Maguire’s studs appeared to have been caught in the turf, causing him to stumble, and it instantly led to fans comparing him to the former Prime Minister.
